It's Minnes in tight runoffs
By ANDY MILLER City Editor
It was a typical election returns gathering, where everyone knew that Fred Minnes had won the ASSC presidential office, but a waiting game had to be played with the Elections Board of Inquiry.
Minnes defeated Ron McDuffie by 250 votes, in an election a bit easier than anyone would have predicted yesterday. The vote was Minnes 1316, McDuffie 1066, Ed Hurst (write-in) 170, Eric Cohen (write-in) 26.
The waiting game in the YWCA had to be played because the junior representative race was up in the air. It was finally forced into another runoff—April 10, for the lack of a single vote.
Dave Dizenfeld polled 265 votes, exactly 50 percent of the votes cast for the office. So, he will again face Steve Ogle, who polled 247 votes. There were 18 write-ins.
After a 45 minute meeting, the Elections Board of Inquiry ruled that the exact percentage did not constitute a majority.
Jeff Ullman won the sophomore representative race over Jordan Kerner, 427 votes to 300.
A record runoff turnout of 2600 students went to the polls, in an election that was punctuated with the usual
accusations, rumors, and innuendos.
But that’s all over now.
Minnes, who will take office May 1, avoided the usual victory statements of thanks and condolences, by indicating he was prepared for his inauguration.
“My first priority will be student participation in decision making. I want to start working with the Men’s Hall Association on residence hall rules,” he said.
Minnes, who appeared somewhat calmer than the junior representative candidates who had not yet heard from the Board of Inquiry, continued, “My success next year depends upon the people that are involved in student government.
“I hope that none of the candidates abandon their ideals.”
Bill Mauk, now the lame duck ASSC president, said that the top three presidential aspirants were the best set of candidates for the office that he had seen in his three years at the university.
“I think if there are a lot of interested people on the council with different opinions, the job will be a lot more difficult for Fred than it was for me,” Mauk said.
Although Mauk had endorsed McDuffie, he stressed his approval of Minnes’ election, calling him a capable leader.
Hurst, the last-minute write-in candidate who came within 32 votes of forcing the presidential race into an additional runoff, said he would stay in student government.
“With a clear majority, Fred will be able to make the ASSC responsive to student needs,” Hurst said. “The vote that I pulled as a write-in indicates that there are a lot of issues that I hope Fred wfll consider as he plans his administration.”
McDuffie, who had run second to Minnes in both the primary and in the runoff, was unavailable for comment.
Minnes, a junior in psychology, ran his campaign normally, except for a few last minute quirks. His workers, headed by campaign manager Wayne Johnson, seemed more like a land army. First there were two “Minnes Mobiles,” automobiles painted with slogans like “Another Mother for Minnes,” and “Turn on the FM.” Second, a roving band of bicycle campaigners covered the campus and the Row yesterday afternoon.
The strength of his victory, however, can be better attributed to his political career, which has been one of graduating up through the-ranks of student government. As a freshman, he was a dormitory floor representative from Stonier Hall. As a sophomore, he was Men’s Hall Association president, and this year he is Associated Men Students president.

Atomic energy, world affairs control ideology—prof says
Ideology today is controlled by atomic energy, world affairs and the shift in politics from the West to the East, Dr. Bruce Miller said at a faculty luncheon Wednesday.

Journalists aid minority adults
The west coast’s first professionally-taught journalism workshop for low-income and minority adults seeking mass media careers is now under way at USC.
Sponsored jointly by the Center for Social Action and the Neighborhood Adult Participation Project (NAPP), the workshop is taught by Tony Shultz, a newspaper staff writer, and Edward “Abie” Robinson, a former journalist, now an NAPP neighborhood organizer.
The 12-week workshop began March 1 with nine students selected from 25 applicants living in South-Central Los Angeles.
“The workshop is a unique partnership between a university and a federally-funded anti-poverty agency and is considered a pilot project for other universities and anti-poverty agencies,” said Manuel Aragon, executive director of the Economic and Youth Opportunities Agency (EYOA) of Greater Los Angeles, NAPP’s parent organization.
The project is designed to both train personnel and find full-time jobs for participants. Newspaper employers will be directly involved through an all-day seminar at the conclusion of the workshop. Students not employed prior to the seminar will be interviewed at the seminar; those still without jobs will be assisted by NAPP with continuous employment counseling.
Shultz and Robinson developed the curriculum from two experimental workshops conducted in low-income minority neighborhoods last summer and fall. It consists of 11 three-hour classes, each divided into lecture and exercises, meeting Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the School of Journalism.
Subjects covered include news and feature writing, interviewing, reporting techniques, covering a news beat and finding a newspaper job. Each student is required to write a minimum of six stories for publication.
Copies of the curriculum and organizational instructions are available on request from Robinson at NAPP Headquarters, 2600 Randolph St., Huntington Park (90255).
Shultz and Robinson are applying through USC and NAPP for permanent funding to underwrite continuous 12-week projects for as long as the need exists. At present the program is operated without funds, drawing on the budgets of the USC Center for Scoial Action and NAPP for incidental expenses.
“The initial response from newspaper employers has been positive, with several agreeing to participate in the final seminar and one interviewing students for a job opening on a suburban newspaper chain,” Shultz said.
defined ideology as a “dynamic, methodological approach to mobilizing will on both a particular and a universal scale in order to change history on a world-wide basis.”
Ideology as a term was corrupted by Napoleon and Marx and a host of contemporary writers who have missed the basic issue, he said.
“That is that ideology is here to stay for a long time and we might as well get to the root of it.”
Awareness in philosophy is important in separating the moral from the immoral ideology, Miller said.
He gave examples of immoral ideology as the structure used by Hitler, Marx and Lenin.
Miller listed the three elements that are absolutely essential to the nature of moral ideology as a dynamic which pertains to love and not hate, a world view which includes the nature of man, and a methodology capable of attaining its philosophical ends.
“We must unite the best of the intellect with integrity of will to deal with these ideological forces that surround us,” he said.
“In principle, we need a better set of ideas than the opposition as a spearhead of our master plan. Now we need to take the challenge seriously to mobilize a cooperative feeling in this area.”

Inglewood responds to mandate
After eight years of delayed action to racially balance the school district, the Inglewood Unified School District responded yesterday to a writ of mandate drawn up by USC’s Western Center on Law and Poverty.
The school district counsel came to the hearing, held at the County Court House, in response to a demand made by several residents of Inglewood, in February.
The demand asked the school district to comply with a law passed by the California State Board of Education requiring school districts to do everything reasonably feasible to correct racial imbalance of a 15 percent disparity between the minority population of the district.
In the 15-minute hearing, the counsel for the petitioners; Shirley Smith, William Rintala, and Lee Young, submitted their complete case and evidence. Their contention was that since a petition asking for implementation of the necessary steps to insure racial balance was submitted in 1966 by several residents of Inglewood, the school district has done nothing.
In answer to the petition, the school district agreed with the statistics which proved severe racial imbalance, but said that steps were now being taken to correct the imbalance by Semtember of 1969.
The counsel of the school district asked for more time to give the
hearing officer, Bicknell Showers, the recommendation of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee on Master Planning, which will meet April 28 and May 12.
A new hearing was called by Bicknell for May 28. At this time, it is expected that the school district will submit its plans for balancing the school district. The plan will be implemented by September.
At present, three elementary schools, Freeman, Waren Lane, and Woodworth; Monroe Junior High School, and Morningside High School have from 31 percent to 78 percent black enrollment, although the area they draw students from is only 13 percent black.
“If in fact, what the school district says is true, that they will solve the racial imbalance by September, our case has accomplished what we set out to do,” Rintala said. “The Citizen’s Advisory Committee on Master Planning has already set up a possible plan for the secondary schools but they will have more of a problem drafting a plan for the primary schools as there are more of them.”
The basic issue, he said, is not whether they are segregated or whether they have not taken action in the past, but what they are going to do about it.
Since 1966 two petitions have been submitted, a special task force gave a
report on possible solutions to balance the district.
A study from the Bureau of Intergroup Relations of the State Department of Education called for immediate action to make a master plan to eliminate racial imbalance and a feasibility study was submitted agreeing with earlier reports and asking for a policy statement from the school board. Several other committees were formed to deal with the problem.
Dispite all of committees, “The responded by committees and reports,” said
the studies and school board has establishing more awaiting further the declaration
submitted by the Western Law Center.
S.E. Waldrip, the assistant superintendent for the Inglewood School District, said in an interview before the hearing:
“Both whites and blacks are culturally deprived and for that reason we have tried to increase the number of school programs. Right now we have a black studies program at Morningside.”
When asked if this study program was offered in the other schools, he said, “No, there wasn’t any demand for it.”
Morningside High School has almost all of the black students in the district.
